1) Admit your spiritual need. We are all sinners..people don't always like that title. The one word that defines all sin is "harmatia" which means "to miss the mark" What is God's mark ? Jesus said, "Be perfect as my Father in heaven is perfect." Unless a person is perfect, he has missed the mark; therefore he is a sinner.

2) What is the rsult of sin? In Romans 6:23 we read "The wages of sin is death..." Every one of us has missed God's mark. EEveryone of us falls short of being perfect. We are getting only what we deserve, and we are bringing judgement upon ourselves. One thing we need to remember is that God never sends anyone to hell. We send ourselves by rejecting His truth.

3) Since we can never measure up to God's standards on our own, God has reached out to us. We cannot solve the problem of sin, but God, who is perfect, can and has. Christ died for us.

4) If a person acknowledges he is a sinner, and he accepts the promise that Christ is the solution, he is at a crossroads. Either the person must reject God's solution and accept the consequences, or he must accept Jesus Christ as his Savior. What must a person do to receive this gift? Simply receive it ! Matthew 11:28-30 states, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me...for My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
